Oh man, those poison dart shooting fucks are the worst. I got hit by one of those bastards recently and didn't have anything on hand to remedy the poison. Died as I was frantically trying to go through my inventory. Then died again as I was making my way back to my bloodstain. 65K+ souls and over 8 humanity gone.I was so angry haha
Did you enter Blighttown via the Depths? That place fucking sucks. Did you know there's a back entrance that's a little bit more forgiving?
Yeah, I went through the Depths. Heard about that back entrance, isn't it in the ruins underneath the starting area?
Dood, have you gotten the Stone Armor yet? Shit is AMAZING, with it equipped I can fight the Capra Demon one on one without even needing to get on the ledge above him. It's past that magic door in the forest by the blacksmith; you gotta pay him 20k souls to get the key but there are several armor sets in there, plus enemies that can be kicked off of the cliffs for an easy 7,000+, AND the bonfire is really close to them.
...but none of that actually matters 'cause I was playing the pirated game; just bought it for real today and have to make a new dude. It'll be like my fifth character, but I really don't mind at all. The online aspect is soooo awesome. I'll probably disconnect before going back into Blighttown though, fuck that.
I had a Black Knight Sword that was easily better than any other weapon up to that point, I'm really hoping one of 'em drops another this time.

Yeah, man. The co op and multiplayer are my favorite. Been joining alot of people's games and getting a ton of souls for helping defeat bosses in the early parts. I've got a shitload of characters created, as well. I'm currently trying to beat the game with a character below level 15. I think I'm up to 14 now and I'm at Sen's Fortress. It's starting to get tough. Not sure if I'll be able to swing it haha.
How far have you gotten in the game? That stone armor is very useful in a later boss battle. Heavy as fuck, though.

Died another few times in Blighttown, once to a poison shooter, once to a ledge, then when I finally reached the swamp I still couldn't find the bonfire since you can't see shit down there...
And because the only way to make it through the poison without having to wait forever in between islands is to equip shitty useless armor, I got two-shotted by the maggot things.
I thought I'd make a PVP character after beating the game, but the thought of ever having to do Blighttown again in my life makes me reconsider.

Also, it's best when poisoned to just keep moving. The swamp will poison you no matter what, unless you have the ring that makes you able to run in standing water....can't remember the name, but you get it when you go back to the Asylum. But yeah, rolling through the mud also helps. Being toxic is what really fucks you up. Those dart fuckers are the only ones I've come across that can make you toxic. Blooming purple moss on hand in your inventory is your friend in those situations. I learned that the hard way.
